You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love |
|
You tell me, I’m not the man she’s worthy of |
|
But who are you to tell her who to love? |
|
That’s up to her - yes and the Lord above |
|
|
|
Well I know you can buy her fancy clothes and a diamond ring |
|
But I believe she’s happy with me without those things |
|
Still you beg me - to set her free |
|
But my friend that will never be |
|
|
|
Now I don’t blame you for loving her |
|
But can’t you understand, man she’s my girl |
|
And I, I, I, never never ever gonna let her go |
|
‘Cuz I, yeah, I love her so |
|
|
I think you better go now , I’m getting mighty mad |
|
You ask me to give up the only love I’ve ever had |
|
Maybe I would oh - but I love her so |
|
I’m never gonna let her go |
|
